The Virtual Sweater

Isn't it amazing what you can do with a few swatches, a digital camera and some image editing software?

I have made two major changes to the pattern in my book. First of all, I substituted a simple Seed Stitch for that Trinity Stitch I didn't like. However, that made the pattern look somewhat flat, so I decided to add a little braid on both sides of the diamonds. I think the design looks quite well-balanced now and I won't mess around with it any more than that!
